Explore the world through humanities travel

By Nomadsirius

Prologue.
Due to the impact of ethnic circumstances left in history, the ethnic characteristics remain, approaching the humanities journey through the clarity of comprehensive historiography.
Following the trajectory of the history of each country, changed at the whims of the goddess of luck, Fortuna, the humanities journey explores the paths of history.
In contrast to the Tu\'kke of Greek mythology, who left luck to the dice, in Roman mythology, Fortuna determines destiny with a wheel.
We traverse James Joyce and Shakespeare\'s England, Dante Alighieri and Leonardo da Vinci, Umberto Eco\'s Italy, Rubens\'s Belgium, Nikos Kazantzakis\'s Greece, Milan Kundera\'s Czechoslovakia, Descartes and Vincent van Gogh, Sartre\'s France, and Dostoevsky\'s Russia.
The internal meaning of history involves the exploration of truth, thought, and effort to approach it, as well as the investigation of causes and origins.
In the timeless hours between the dog and the wolf, we revel in the freedom that transcends all formality during that elusive evening time.
Embarking on a humanities journey through comprehensive historiography, we explore the world.
Humanities travel is enriching when life itself is beautiful.
